What are the best answers when interviewers ask about your hobbies and extra curricular activities?

Answer

Choose things that show a balanced personality. For instance, pick both a sport and a cerebral activity: reading and swimming, cycling and writing short stories.

Gardening is a good one, because you can spin it to emphasis positive attributes, like a caring, nuturing personality, perseverance and skill at long term planning.

Crosswords are a good one if the job involves problem solving.

Team sports are good if the job involves working closely with others.

Amateur dramatics are good if the job involves public relations.

Never mention a hobby that you have no experience in, it will inevitably turn out to be the interviewer's big passion. It's okay to exagerate how often you do stuff though.
